A judicial canton (Dutch: gerechtelijk kanton, French: canton judiciaire, German: gerichtlicher Kanton) is a group of municipalities over which a single justice of the peace has jurisdiction.
The city of Antwerp, for instance, is divided into 12 judicial cantons.
There are 209 electoral cantons in Belgium, of which 8 are in Brussels, 104 are in Flanders, and 97 are in Wallonia.
The newest canton is Sint-Genesius-Rode in Flemish Brabant, which was created in 2014.
The cantons were the lowest, most detailed level at which election results were available, until the 2014 elections when the FPS Interior also published results at municipality level.
